If this management is possible it could be a good thing to consider lowering the AP power to save some energy when there is no need to go at full power. Suppose that an AP is serving connection to just 1 device, it just need to use the power sufficient to reach that device, with a tolerance of some meters. It surely don't need to go 50 meters far from it. Maybe if there is the need to scan for other devices in the area that could be done one time each 30 seconds or so at full power, going back to low power to serve the normal connection if there are no more devices.. This would even contribute to keep low the amount and intensity of electromagnetic waves, which is always a good thing. roby _______________________________________________ Netsukuku mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dyne.org/mailman/listinfo/netsukuku
